Art that grabs
I must have looked a little like a zombie, walking into Hair Trendz yesterday. I had walked by the salon on my way to a meeting at the radio station when a painting of Marilyn Monroe stopped me in my tracks.
I stopped. I looked. I walked in, without care nor concern that I was not a customer (I have too little hair) and went right up to the painting.
"Who painted this?" I asked.
"It's for sale," one of the ladies said smiling (an absolute bargain at $190).
The artist is Cassidie Miller, teaching art up at Father Mercredi High School covering for a mat leave position. You can check out her stuff at www. cassmillerart.com. She has an awesome series that she calls drip paintings.
I love it when art draws me in, but especially so when it is local art. There are some super talented visual artists in our midst; Cassidie is one that hit me out of the blue.
The ladies at Hair Trendz were very gracious and forgiving for me unheralded intrusion. I think they were rather amused, if I'm being honest.
There's a guy who needs a styling in the worst way, they were probably thinking to themselves.
